Full textAbstract:
Forensic facial reconstruction can assist identification by reconstructing a face of the unknown person with the aim of its recognition by his/her family or friends. In the facial reconstruction approach adopted in this study, a 3D average face template was digitally warped onto a 3D scanned skull image. This study was carried out entirely on an Egyptian population, and was the first of its kind. Aims: This study aimed to demonstrate that 3D facial reconstructions using the novel methodology described could show significant resemblance to the faces corresponding to the persons in question when they were alive. Moreover, using techniques previously validated for facial reconstruction, the aim was to compare them to the method developed, and to assess approaches used to determine the accuracy of 3D facial reconstructions. Methods: Initially, a pilot study was conducted using a database of laser scanned skulls and faces. The faces were reconstructed using an average facial template generated by merging a number of faces of similar population, sex, and age. The applicability, as well as the main components of the facial reconstruction method, the single and average facial templates, and the facial soft tissue thickness measurements, were investigated. Furthermore, in the main study, the faces of computed tomography (CT) scanned heads of an Egyptian population were reconstructed using average facial templates. The accuracy of the reconstructed faces was assessed subjectively by face pool, and face resemblance tests, and objectively by measuring the surface distances between the real and reconstructed faces. In addition, a number of novel subjective and objective assessment methods were developed. These included assessment of individual facial regions using subjective resemblance scores, and objective surface distance comparisons. A new objective method, craniofacial anthropometry, was developed by taking and comparing direct measurements from the skull, and comparing the measurements from the real and reconstructed faces. The studied cases were ranked according to all subjective, and objective, tests, and statistically correlated. Results and Conclusions: The average facial templates showed a higher identification rate than the single face templates. The approach of facial reconstruction used in this thesis showed a comparable accuracy to many other facial reconstruction methods, yet was superior in terms of its applicability, transferability, and ease of use. In the face pool tests, the younger assessors were able to correctly identify the reconstructed faces better than older assessors. Furthermore, the identification rate by the forensic anthropology experts was higher than the non-experts. The former group showed the highest agreement between the observers in giving the resemblance scores. Although there was a significant rank correlation between the subjective and objective assessment tests, the subjective tests are influenced by the assessors' subjective characteristics (e.g., age, professional experience), thus making objective assessment more reliable. However, in situations where subjective tests are used, it is better to use the face resemblance tests and consult forensic anthropologists. Also, Craniofacial Anthropometry, particularly the craniofacial angles, can successfully indicate the accuracy of the facial reconstructions. Importantly, this study shows that certain facial regions, particularly the cheek and the jaw, are more reliable than other areas in the subjective and objective assessment of the facial reconstruction.

Full textAbstract:
The identification of deceased individuals is important in society as it not only facilitates the progression of criminal investigations into suspicious deaths, but also enables the resolution of legal matters and brings closure to the families affected by the death. When a corpse is skeletonized, heavily burned, or the soft tissue has degraded to a point that other professionals cannot obtain information about the deceased, a forensic anthropologist or odontologist is often tasked with identification. A variety of methods exist that enable forensic anthropologists to achieve identification. These include: non-imaged records comparisons; craniofacial superimposition and comparative radiography. Facial reconstructions can also be utilized when no ante mortem information about the deceased individual is available or when law enforcement have no suspicions on who the deceased person is. Facial reconstructions are traditionally a manual method however with the recent advancement of photogrammetry and three-dimensional and computer-aided design modeling software, the process can be performed within a virtual space. The purpose of this literature review is to identify an efficient and low-cost method of generating facial reconstructions using photogrammetry and open-source three-dimensional and computer-aided design software.

In recent years, archaeogenetic studies have been widely discussed in popular media and they have raised many questions, especially regarding cultural identity and ethnicity. This thesis discusses reconstructions based on ancient human remains and how they are related to the current academic hegemony and political circumstances in Europe. People of Britain have reacted particularly strongly to the reconstruction of the Cheddar Man, exhibited in the Natural History Museum in London. Based on this and few other reconstructions of ancient individuals, the ethical issues behind human reconstructions are analyzed and how museums and popular media as the public spaces displaying these pieces of art should deal with such issues as cultural heritage, human origins, and identity.Under de senaste åren har arkeogenetiska studier diskuterats allmänt i populära media och de har väckta väckts många frågor speciellt kring kulturell identitet och etnicitet. Denna studie diskuterar rekonstruktioner baserat på forntida mänskliga kvarlevor och hur de är relaterade till den nuvarande akademiska hegemonin och den politiska omständigheter i Europa. Människor i Storbritannien har reagerat särskilt starkt på rekonstruktionen av Cheddar-mannen, utställd i ”Natural History Museum” i London. Med utgångspunkt i denna och ytterligare några rekonstruktioner av forntida individer analyseras etiska frågor bakom mänskliga rekonstruktioner och hur museer och populära medier ska hanterar frågor om kulturarv, mänskligt ursprung och identitet.

Full textAbstract:
Includes bibliographical referencesAlthough it is a reasonable assumption that a significant proportion of the variation in facial tissue thicknesses comes from anatomical differences between populations, we do not know how much of normal variation is caused by including the full range of individual obesity or slimness. Current population standard soft tissue thickness data used in facial reconstructions ignores the variation between individuals which, in theory, could be greater than the variation between populations or sexes. The aim of this study was to test if facial tissue thickness is due to the amount of sub - cutaneous fat, sex or racial origins. Methods currently used do not give a true reflection of the individual because they ignore the variation in fatness. An initial study determined if a corrective value for the non - linear distortion found between radiographic images and the physical tissues was needed. This was done by imaging cadaver heads and taking measurements from the images and the physical heads. The results demonstrated that measurements taken from LODOX® images are analogous with soft tissue measurements. Volunteers were then sought from the student body and had physical measurements and X - rays taken. The measurements allowed for both BMI and body fat percentage to be calculated. Analysis showed that body fat percentage had less of an impact than BMI, with the areas of the face most affected by change in fatness being around the chin, jaw and cheek. Analysis of the variances showed that fatness has a low impact on the soft tissues of the different ancestry groups, while having a greater impact on the soft tissues of the different sexes. The effect of changing fatness on the soft tissues is not seen in all areas of the face, but to ignore it in facial reconstruction ignores that the success of a reconstruction is not exactness but in its ability to incite recognition and lead to potential identification of the unknown target individual.

Full textAbstract:
When skeletalised or semi-skeletalised remains are discovered there is often no identifying evidence available. In these cases, facial reconstruction techniques are employed to re-create a pre-mortem likeness of the deceased in the hope of developing new leads towards achieving the positive identification of the deceased. This work is a thorough investigation into the feasibility of using volume graphics techniques to perform the facial reconstruction of skeletal remains. The main contributions are: (i) A critical review of existing methods for facial reconstruction and soft tissue depth measurement. The aim of this study is to determine which factors contribute most to the inaccuracy of current reconstruction methods; (ii) The detailed design of a pipeline for the reconstruction of facial features using volume graphics techniques; (iii) A new approach for extracting corresponding anatomical feature points from two volumetrically-defined skulls; (iv) A new algorithm for the smooth and accurate deformation of volumetric data; (v) The evaluation of the new reconstruction pipeline with real-life skeletal samples. This research clearly illustrates the feasibility and potential usefulness of using volume graphics as the basis for a computer-based facial reconstruction technique. Parts of this research have been presented by the candidate at "Eurographics UK 1996" (Imperial College, London), and "International Workshop on Volume Graphics 1999" (Swansea, United Kingdom). It has also been published in 'Forensic Science International' and "Volume Graphics" (Springer-Verlag, London).

Full textAbstract:
Context: The facial subunit principle organizes the facial skin into subunits. Facial reconstruction for skin cancer based on aesthetic units consists of replacing the entire subunit when a large part of a subunit has been removed. Aims: To determine the prevalence of facial skin cancer, their location by facial aesthetic units, and the type of facial reconstruction used in each of them. Settings and Design: An observational cross-sectional study was conducted at the Head and Neck Surgery Service of a general hospital between 2017 and 2018. Materials and Methods: A population census was conducted during this period. Statistical Analysis Used: The categorical variables were expressed as frequencies (percentages). Continuous variables were described as the means and standard deviations or medians and interquartile ranges. Results: The most common skin cancer was basal cell skin cancer, followed by epithelial skin cancer and, at last, melanoma. In general, the most frequent localization of these cancers was the nose. Conclusions: In spite of primary closure being the most common form of reconstruction, a considerable number of patients required facial reconstruction based on aesthetic facial units, with satisfying results.Revisión por pares

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to find the design tool to create a soft tissue 3D model able to be used for finite element analysis to simulate the facial soft tissue deformation under g-loading and the helmet and mask/tissue interaction. Such a model will be of value in the design of new helmets and oxygen mask system, to reduce the effects of inertia, to provide improved fit, to minimise oxygen leakage especially when deformed under high g-loading. This work is concerned with the creation of a 3D geometric model. Further work may involve the measurement of mechanical properties of the facial soft tissue, finite element analysis and validation of the model. Using high frequency A-scan ultrasound allows the superficial tissue to be measured on volunteers without risk. The investigation covers 112 points on half of the face, linked to 11 defined morphological zones. The zonal boundaries are based on previous research and are initially identified by inspection and palpation of the face. There is large thickness range difference (30%) over the face in most zones defined in an individual. The iso-thickness zone hypothesis is not valid if the 'constant' thickness criterion is set to be 10% for all zones. Software algorithm for automatically detecting the facial soft tissue thickness is developed and validated to be effective (5% fail rate). Thickness data is acquired from European white males, females and Chinese males. The data collected in this study is also useful in forensic science for facial reconstruction purpose. Laser scanning method has been used to obtain the facial surface profile to create a surface model into which the soft tissue layer thickness distribution around the face can be incorporated. The surface model is exported in IGES format and can be imported in CAD software. Electromagnetic space locating method is used to acquire the ultrasound probe position so as to find the position of the tissue thickness. Point-based registration method is used to integrate the ultrasound thickness data into the laser scanned surface model to create a soft tissue shell solid model. The model is exported in IGES data format so that it can be imported into a finite element analysis package for further processing.

Full textAbstract:
Despite the introduction of DNA-analysis for identification of human remains (1997-2000) several cases exist where the deceased remain unidentified. Approximately ten percent of unknown deceased persons can not be identified by dental status or other present methods. During the year 2003 alone, seven individuals, in Sweden, remain unidentified.
Increase in travel in Europe will lead to more discoveries of foreign human remains in Sweden. In these cases, dental and medical records are often unavailable for the identification process. When reconstructing a face from a skull, a technique with so called landmarks is used. These landmarks define the distance between the skull and the skin.
Today the reconstruction is performed by a forensic artist applying modelling clay to a cast of the skull according to the placement of the landmarks. This method is considered unethical since it involves manipulation of the skull. Another drawback with this method is that it is very time consuming and changes and modifications of the model are hard to do.
This thesis presents the possibilities of digitally, in 3D, reconstructing deceased persons'faces based on computed tomography of skulls. This is done by presenting our PC based 3D modelling tool that we have implemented in Discreet 3ds max. By developing and testing our software we have shown that digital 3D facial reconstruction can be performed by acquiring data from CT and performing the reconstruction process in 3ds max withhelp from our software.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis proposes a new way to analyze facial expressions through 3D scanned faces of real-life people. The expression analysis is based on learning the facial motion vectors that are the differences between a neutral face and a face with an expression. There are several expression analysis based on real-life face database such as 2D image-based Cohn-Kanade AU-Coded Facial Expression Database and Binghamton University 3D Facial Expression Database. To handle large pose variations and increase the general understanding of facial behavior, 2D image-based expression database is not enough. The Binghamton University 3D Facial Expression Database is mainly used for facial expression recognition and it is difficult to compare, resolve, and extend the problems related detailed 3D facial expression analysis. Our work aims to find a new and an intuitively way of visualizing the detailed point by point movements of 3D face model for a facial expression.
In our work, we have created our own 3D facial expression database on a detailed level, which each expression model has been processed to have the same structure to compare differences between different people for a given expression.
The first step is to obtain same structured but individually shaped face models. All the head models are recreated by deforming a generic model to adapt a laser-scanned individualized face shape in both coarse level and fine level. We repeat this recreation method on different human subjects to establish a database. The second step is expression cloning. The motion vectors are obtained by subtracting two head models with/without expression. The extracted facial motion vectors are applied onto a different human subject’s neutral face. Facial expression cloning is proved to be robust and fast as well as easy to use. The last step is about analyzing the facial motion vectors obtained from the second step. First we transferred several human subjects’ expressions on a single human neutral face. Then the analysis is done to compare different expression pairs in two main regions: the whole face surface analysis and facial muscle analysis.
Through our work where smiling has been chosen for the experiment, we find our approach to analysis through face scanning a good way to visualize how differently people move their facial muscles for the same expression. People smile in a similar manner moving their mouths and cheeks in similar orientations, but each person shows her/his own unique way of moving. The difference between individual smiles is the differences of movements they make.

Full textAbstract:
Over the last decade, research in Human Computer Interaction has focused on the development of interfaces that leverage the users' pre-existing skills and expectations from the real world, rather than requiring them to adapt to the constraints of technology driven design. In the context of remote collaboration or communication interfaces, the ultimate goal has been to develop interfaces that will allow remote participants to interact with each other in a human sense, as if they were co-located or in a face-to-face meeting. Research in social psychology has shown that the face is an important channel in non-verbal communication and real world interactions. Non-verbal cues that come from the face are the basis for building trust and professional intimacy and are critical for collaboration, negotiation, persuasion and communication. This research investigated the challenges of bringing non-verbal cues conveyed by the face into a communication interface. To meet these challenges, the proposed system allowed participants to convey the most distinctive nonverbal cues by using three different modes; point cloud, dynamic texture mapping and geometric deformation. A human factor evaluation was undertaken to find out how realistically these non-verbal cues could be expressed by the personalized avatar of the participant.

Full textAbstract:
Facial modelling and animation has been an active research subject in computer graphics since the 1970s. Due to extremely complex biomechanical structures of human faces and people’s visual familiarity with human faces, modelling and animating realistic human faces is still one of greatest challenges in computer graphics. Since we are so familiar with human faces and very sensitive to unnatural subtle changes in human faces, it usually requires a tremendous amount of artistry and manual work to create a convincing facial model and animation. There is a clear need of developing automatic techniques for facial modelling in order to reduce manual labouring. In order to obtain a realistic facial model of an individual, it is now common to make use of 3D scanners to capture range scans from the individual and then fit a template to the range scans. However, most existing template-fitting methods require manually selected landmarks to warp the template to the range scans. It would be tedious to select landmarks by hand over a large set of range scans. Another way to reduce repeated work is synthesis by reusing existing data. One example is expression cloning, which copies facial expression from one face to another instead of creating them from scratch. This aim of this study is to develop a fully automatic framework for template-based facial modelling, facial expression transferring and facial expression tracking from range scans. In this thesis, the author developed an extension of the iterative closest points (ICP) algorithm, which is able to match a template with range scans in different scales, and a deformable model, which can be used to recover the shapes of range scans and to establish correspondences between facial models. With the registration method and the deformable model, the author proposed a fully automatic approach to reconstructing facial models and textures from range scans without re-quiring any manual interventions. In order to reuse existing data for facial modelling, the author formulated and solved the problem of facial expression transferring in the framework of discrete differential geometry. The author also applied his methods to face tracking for 4D range scans. The results demonstrated the robustness of the registration method and the capabilities of the deformable model. A number of possible directions for future work were pointed out.

En ce qui concerne la reconstruction 3d informatisee, l'algorithme mis au point est capable de reconstruire le visage du disparu a partir du crane a identifier, mais l'evaluation scientifique montre des resultats mediocres en terme de ressemblance entre la reconstruction informatisee et le visage reel du sujet. Les resultats en matiere de reconstruction 3d manuelle sont interessants. Ces techniques sont maintenant utilisees dans des affaires judiciaires.

One of the challenging problems in geometric
modeling and computer graphics is the construction of
realistic human facial geometry. Such geometry are
essential for a wide range of applications, such as 3D face
recognition, virtual reality applications, facial expression
simulation and computer based plastic surgery application.
This paper addresses a method for the construction of 3D
geometry of human faces based on the use of Elliptic Partial
Differential Equations (PDE). Here the geometry
corresponding to a human face is treated as a set of surface
patches, whereby each surface patch is represented using
four boundary curves in the 3-space that formulate the
appropriate boundary conditions for the chosen PDE. These
boundary curves are extracted automatically using 3D data
of human faces obtained using a 3D scanner. The solution of
the PDE generates a continuous single surface patch
describing the geometry of the original scanned data. In this
study, through a number of experimental verifications we
have shown the efficiency of the PDE based method for 3D
facial surface reconstruction using scan data. In addition to
this, we also show that our approach provides an efficient
way of facial representation using a small set of parameters
that could be utilized for efficient facial data storage and
verification purposes.

Developing human-like digital characters is a challenging task since humans are used to recognizing our fellows, and find the computed generated characters inadequately humanized. To fulfill the standards of the videogame and digital film productions it is necessary to model and animate these characters the most closely to human beings. However, it is an arduous and expensive task, since many artists and specialists are required to work in a single character. Therefore, to fulfill these requirements we found an interesting option to study the automatic creation of detailed characters through inexpensive setups. In this work, we develop novel techniques to bring detailed characters by combining different aspects that stand out when developing realistic characters, skin detail, facial hairs, expressions, and microexpressions. We examine each of the mentioned areas with the aim of automatically recover each of the parts without user interaction nor training data. We study the problems for their robustness but also for the simplicity of the setup, preferring single-image with uncontrolled illumination and methods that can be easily computed with the commodity of a standard laptop. A detailed face with wrinkles and skin details is vital to develop a realistic character. In this work, we introduce our method to automatically describe facial wrinkles on the image and transfer to the recovered base face. Then we advance to the facial hair recovery by resolving a fitting problem with a novel parametrization model. As of last, we develop a mapping function that allows transfer expressions and microexpressions between different meshes, which provides realistic animations to our detailed mesh. We cover all the mentioned points with the focus on key aspects as (i) how to describe skin wrinkles in a simple and straightforward manner, (ii) how to recover 3D from 2D detections, (iii) how to recover and model facial hair from 2D to 3D, (iv) how to transfer expressions between models holding both skin detail and facial hair, (v) how to perform all the described actions without training data nor user interaction. In this work, we present our proposals to solve these aspects with an efficient and simple setup. We validate our work with several datasets both synthetic and real data, prooving remarkable results even in challenging cases as occlusions as glasses, thick beards, and indeed working with different face topologies like single-eyed cyclops.

Cette thèse est consacrée à la conception, au développement et à l'analyse de méthodes de déformation de maillage pour la modélisation, le traitement et la comparaison de forme -telles que l'appariement et la reconstruction de surface- ainsi qu’à la conception d'une méthode numérique robuste pour la reconstruction faciale. La reconstruction faciale tridimensionnelle consiste à estimer un visage numérique à partir de la seule donnée de son crâne sec. Il s'agit d'un défi en médecine légale et en anthropologie. La contribution majeure de cette thèse est la conception d'une nouvelle méthode pour l'appariement de forme, en s'appuyant sur des techniques d'optimisation de forme. Sous la seule hypothèse que les deux formes ont la même topologie, la transformation cherchée s'obtient comme une suite de déplacements élastiques, solutions d'un problème de minimisation d’énergie basée sur une fonction distance signée.Nous proposons également une méthode de drapage permettant la génération d'un modèle de surface fermée à partir d'un maillage source. La méthode repose sur une technique d’évolution de maillage utilisant les équations de l'élasticité linéaire. Un maillage modèle est itérativement déformé pour générer une séquence de formes qui s’approche de plus en plus de la triangulation source. Dans la deuxième partie de ce manuscrit, nous nous intéressons au développement d’une méthode automatique de reconstruction faciale numérique. En s’appuyant sur des techniques de déformation continue telles que le ‘morphing' et le ’warping’, l'approche proposée est intégrée par des connaissances anthropologiques et mécaniquesThis thesis is devoted to the conception, the development and the analysis of mesh deformation strategies for shape modeling, processing and comparison -as shape matching and surface reconstruction- and, in a rather independent concern, for devising a robust computational method for facial reconstruction. Facial reconstruction is about the estimation of a facial shape from the sole datum of the underlying skull and is a challenging problem in anthropology and forensic science. The main contribution of the thesis is the design of a novel method for shape matching, borrowing techniques from the shape optimization context. Under the sole assumption that the two shapes share the same topology, the desired mapping is achieved as a sequence of elastic displacements by minimizing an energy functional based on a signed distance function. Several numerical examples are presented to show the efficiency of the method.Also, a novel method for generating a closed surface mesh model of an initially non-closed source mesh model is developed. The method relies on an original PDE-based mesh evolution technique. A template shape is iteratively deformed, producing a sequence of shapes that get 'closer and closer' to the source triangulation.The second part of the manuscript deals with the development of a landmark-free, fully automated method for digital facial reconstruction. Based on techniques of continuous deformation as 'morphing' and 'warping', the proposed approach is integrated with anthropological assumptions and mechanical models

La reconstitution faciale a pour but de restituer le visage d’un individu à partir de la morphologie de son crâne. Cette technique est utilisée en anthropologie médico-légale pour apporter de nouveaux témoignages dans l’identification de restes humains. Les objectifs de thèse sont d’établir une base de données crânio-faciale 3D de Français grâce à l’imagerie médicale, de tester les règles traditionnelles de reconstitution, et de quantifier les corrélations morphologiques entre tissus osseux et cutanés. Des examens hospitaliers par scanner tomodensitométrique (18 – 96 ans ; sexe ratio 1,16:1) ont été traités avec le logiciel TIVMI pour reconstruire avec précision les surfaces osseuses et cutanées. Plus de 200 points de repère ont pu être positionnés sur 500 individus, en suivant un protocole précis (répétabilité et reproductibilité vérifiées). L’extraction de distances Euclidiennes a permis de tester plusieurs règles traditionnelles, et d’étudier la spécificité et la variabilité des épaisseurs de tissus mous. Parallèlement, les coordonnées 3D des points ont été analysées par morphométrie géométrique. Les covariations entre groupes de points osseux et cutanés ont pu être quantifiées, ainsi que les asymétries, allométries, et influences de l’âge et du sexe sur les variations de conformation. Ces résultats ont permis l’élaboration d’une méthode d’estimation de la position des points de repère du visage, et la création (en collaboration avec le LaBRI) d’un module de reconstitution faciale nommé AFA3D. Basé sur le principe de déformation d’un visage synthétique, ce logiciel restitue la forme la plus probable du visage en fonction de la position de 78 points crâniométriquesFacial approximation aims at the production of a face based on the skull morphology. This technique is performed in forensic anthropology to bring new testimonies in cases of human remains identification. The goals of this research are to establish a database of French skulls and faces in 3D through medical imaging, to test traditional guidelines, and to quantify the morphological correlations between soft and hard tissues. Computed tomography exams, collected in French hospitals (18 – 96 years; sex ratio 1.16:1), were treated with TIVMI software to reconstruct accurately the bone and skin surfaces. More than 200 landmarks have been placed on 500 subjects, following a protocol which repeatability and reproducibility have been checked. The extraction of Euclidian distances allowed testing traditional guidelines, and studying specificity and variability of soft tissue depths. In parallel, the 3D coordinates were analyzed with geometric morphometrics. Covariations between groups of bone landmarks and groups of skin landmarks were quantified, along with asymmetry, allometry, and influences of age and sex on the shape changes. These results allowed for the creation of a method to estimate the position of skin landmarks, and for the development of a facial approximation module in TIVMI, called AFA3D (in collaboration with the LaBRI). Based on the warping of a synthetic face, this software renders the most probable face depending on the position of 78 cranial landmarks

A Reconstrução Facial Forense (RFF) é a área de estudos que visa estimar a face de um indivíduo a partir de um crânio. Médias de espessuras de tecidos moles em diferentes pontos cranianos, frequentemente obtidas em cadáveres por meio da punção com agulhas, são referencias utilizadas. Atualmente, alguns métodos digitais como a ressonância magnética, o ultrassom e a tomografia computadorizada do tipo Fan-Beam têm oferecido recursos técnicos que podem ser utilizados nas pericias forenses. A tomografia computadorizada Cone-Beam (TCCB), se diferencia de outras por permitir a aquisição de volume de pacientes sentados. No estudo da oclusão e ortodontia, é comum a atribuição de diferentes volumes e capacidade funcional à pacientes de diferentes tipologias faciais, por isso, objetiva-se estabelecer um método de mensuração da espessura tecidual, em exames de TCCB, em pontos utilizados em RFF verificando a existência de diferenças significativas na quantidade de tecidos moles entre tipos faciais. Um protocolo foi confeccionado para permitir que observadores efetuassem medições de tecidos moles em 32 pontos cranianos (10 sagitais e 11 bilaterais), comuns em trabalhos de RFF. A precisão do método, foi avaliada em testes de localização espacial dos pontos em 5 exames, correlação intraclasse intraobservador e interobservadores em 10 exames. O uso do computacional Osirx®, foi testado pela da correlação entre o software Nemotec®, em 25 exames. Testes visuais foram utilizados, como referência, comparando o protocolo com o método manual, realizando tomografia computadorizada de um crânio contendo marcações de resina composta. Os 100 sujeitos foram divididos em gênero, em tipos faciais verticais de face longa (FL), face curta (FC) e face normal (FN), e divididos em tipos faciais anteroposteriores: Padrão I, II e III. Estatisticamente, foram aplicados testes de normalidade e a diferença entre cada grupo foi testada. A amostra foi dividida em 50 homens: 13 FN, 29 FL e 8 FC, sendo 20 CL I, 14 CL II e 16 CL III. As 50 mulheres foram divididas em 16 FN, 24 FL e 10 FC, sendo 24 CL I, 18 CL II e 8 CL III. O método foi considerado adequado, uma vez que pouca experiência foi necessária para que dois observadores localizassem pontos com grau de precisão semelhante. As médias de correlação intraclasse foram consideradas fortes entre os programas (0,75) e entre observadores (0,8), e fortíssima no teste intraobservador (0,9). Os testes visuais apontaram grande coincidência entre o método manual e o digital com vantagem para o segundo devido às ferramentas computacionais disponíveis. As medidas entre homens e mulheres foram diferentes em vários pontos, sendo que o gênero masculino apresentou espessuras maiores, exceto os pontos laterais da órbita. Pouca diferença foi encontrada entre os grupos faciais, que justifique uma abordagem diferenciada entre eles. No entanto, características morfológicas podem ser percebidas, especialmente entre os indivíduos do gênero masculino. A espessura dos pontos sobre a mandíbula foram os que apresentaram maiores diferenças estatísticas, demonstrando que os indivíduos Padrão III e/ou face longa tem espessuras levemente mais delgadas que os de Padrão II e face curta.Forensic facial reconstruction (FFR) is a research field that intends to estimate the face of an individual through a skull. Mean soft tissue thickness values, of different cranial landmarks, often obtained through needle puncture, are used as references. Lately, some digital methods, such as Magnetic resonance and Fan-beam Computer Tomography have been offering new resources to forensic analysis. Cone-Beam Computer Tomography (CBCT), differs from others, by allowing the volumetric acquisition of a sitting patient. In the study of occlusion and orthodontic, is usual to associate volume and functional features to different facial types, therefore the objective is to establish a CBCT soft tissue measuring method, for points used for FFR, verifying the existence of significant differences of soft tissue pattern in distinct facial types. A guideline was created to allow observers to measure soft tissue of 32 landmarks (10 sagittal and 11 bilateral), usually found in FFR researches. Precision was accessed through landmarks placing tests in 5 exams, inter-observers and intraobservers intraclass correlation in 10 exams. The use of the software Osirix® was supported by the comparison with Nemotec® in 25 exams. Visual tests were performed through a computer tomography from a skull with resin spheres placed through the manual approach. The 100 subject sample were divided into gender and then into vertical facial types of long face (LF), short face (SF) and normal face (NF), and in horizontal types: CL I, II, III. Normality statistical tests were applied and the difference between groups was tested. The sample was divided in 50 men: 13 NF, 29 LF, and 10 SF, as 20 were Class I, 14 CL II and 16 CL III. The 50 women were divided into 16 NF, 24 LF and 10 SF, as 24 were Class I, 18 CL II and 8 CL III. The method was considered adequate, as after little calibration was needed to allow observers to place landmarks with similar precision. The mean intraclass correlation was considered strong between software (0.75) and observers (0.8), and very strong on intra-observer (0.9). Visual tests pointed out good level of coincidence between manual and digital methods with advantage to the digital due to the available computer tools. The average measures differed between male and female gender, as thicker depths were observed in men in all landmarks, with exception to the Lateral Orbits. The small amount of difference, observed among facial types was considered insufficient to sustain the use of new reference charts. Nevertheless, morphological features could be noticed, especially among male subjects. The depth of landmarks placed over the mandible presented statistical differences, demonstrating that class III, and or long face facial types have less tissue in those areas than class II and short-faced patients.

Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar, por meio de comparação com fotografias ante-mortem, a acuracidade da reconstrução facial forense manual e computadorizada de brasileiros adultos utilizando-se o método de Manchester. Foram reconstruídos os rostos a partir de 08 crânios, 04 femininos e 04 masculinos que foram exumados no Cemitério Municipal Necrópole do Campo Santo-Guarulhos/São Paulo. Esse estudo se justificou para possibilitar a utilização do método de Manchester considerando-se as profundidades de tecidos moles estabelecidas para brasileiros. Oito réplicas de gesso para a reconstrução manual, e oito modelos virtuais em 3D, obtidos por meio de tomografia para a computadorizada foram levados para o Centro de Anatomia e Identificação Humana da Universidade de Dundee/Escócia/Reino Unido. Utilizou-se argila para a manual e a tecnologia Sensable por meio do programa de computador FreeForm Modelling Plus, e do dispositivo tátil Phantom Haptic Desktop para a computadorizada. Avaliou-se a acuracidade das 16 reconstruções resultantes por meio de dois métodos: fotografias das reconstruções produzidas foram mostradas para 100 voluntários, que foram convidados a escolher o sujeito da fotografia em vivo quando incluído com outros cinco sujeitos aleatoriamente selecionados; e por meio de teste de semelhança, que comparou a fotografia da reconstrução com a do sujeito alvo lado a lado, o que foi feito também com dois sujeitos controle. Embora em ambos os testes os sujeitos alvo tiveram o melhor desempenho no número de acertos e no grau de semelhança, as reconstruções manuais obtiveram um melhor desempenho e o maior nível de acerto foi de 90% em um caso no teste de reconhecimento, enquanto na computadorizada foi de 81%. Este estudo demonstrou que o método de manchester em brasileiros, assim como o FreeForm Modelling Plus são ferramentas úteis e adequadas para o uso em reconstrução facial com níveis de sucesso muito significativos.The aim of this study was to evaluate, by comparison with antemortem photographs, the accuracy of manual and computerized forensic facial reconstruction of adult Brazilians using the Manchester method. The faces were reconstructed from 08 skulls, 04 female and 04 male that were exhumed at the Municipal Cemitery Necropolis of Campo Santo-Guarulhos/Sao Paulo. This study is justified to allow the use of the Manchester method considering the soft tissue depths from Brazilian people. Eight plaster replicas made for manual reconstructions and eight 3D virtual models, obtained by tomography for computerized were taken to the Centre for Anatomy and Human Identification at the University of Dundee/Scotland/UK. Clay was used for the manual and the SensAble technology through the FreeForm Modeling Plus software and the tactil device Phantom Haptic Desktop for the computerized. The accuracy of 16 reconstructions resulting was evaluated by two methods: images of the reconstructions were produced and shown to 100 volunteers who were asked to choose the subject of photography in vivo when included with other five subjects randomly selected; and by the resemblance test, comparing the photograph of the reconstruction with the subject\'s target side by side, which was also done with two control subjects. Although in both tests the 08 subjects achieved the best results in the number of correct answers and in the degree of resemblance, the manual reconstruction achieved a better performance and the higher level of accuracy in one case was 90% in recognition test, while the computerized was 81%. This study showed that the Manchester method in Brazilians, as well as the FreeForm Modeling Plus are usefull and adequate tools for use in facial reconstruction with very significant levels of success.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis introduces an efficient and robust approach for 3D reconstruction of complete head models with consistent parameterization and personalized shapes from several possible inputs. The system input consists of Cyberware laser-scanned data where we perform scanning task as well as publically available face data where (i) facial expression may or may not exist and (ii) only partial information of head may exist, for instance only front face part without back part of the head.
Our method starts with a surface reconstruction approach to either transfer point clouds to a mesh structure or to fill missing points on a triangular mesh. Then, it is followed by a registration process which unifies the representation of all meshes. Afterward, a photo-cloning method is used to extract an adequate set of features in a semi-automatic way on snapshots taken from front and left views of provided range data. We modify Radial Basis Functions (RBFs) deformation so that it would be based on not only distance, but also regional information. Using feature point sets and modified RBFs deformation, a generic mesh can be manipulated in a way that closed eyes and mouth movements like separating upper lip and lower lip can be properly handled. In other word, such mesh modification method makes construction of various facial expressions possible. Moreover, new functions are added where a generic model can be manipulated based on feature point sets to consequently recover missing parts such as ears, back of the head and neck in the input face. After feature-based deformation using modified radial basis functions, a fine mesh modification method based on model points follows to extract the fine details from the available range data. Then, some post refinement procedures employing RBFs deformation and averaging neighboring points are carried out to make the surface of reconstructed 3D head smoother and uniform. Due to existence of flaws and defects on the mesh surface such as flipped triangles, self-intersections or degenerate faces, an automatic repairing approach is leveraged to clean up the entire surface of the mesh. The experiments which are performed on various models show that our method is robust and efficient in terms of accurate full head reconstruction from input data and execution time, respectively. In our method, it is also aimed to use minimum user interaction as much as possible.

Full textAbstract:
Research studies into the reliability of forensic facial reconstruction have focused mainly on the accuracy of facial reconstruction from European or African ancestry skulls. Additionally the recognition of the human face by different racial groups and its effect on practitioners in facial reconstruction has not been considered in those studies. As a result, there is a paucity of research addressing the systemic approach to the accuracy of reconstructed faces produced by practitioners of a ‘different race’ (from the origin of the skull) or the cross-race recognition of the reconstructed faces. The aims of this research are; to investigate whether the ‘cross-race effect’ has any influence on the accuracy of facial reconstruction using both experienced and inexperienced practitioners (‘cross-race effect on reconstructing faces’); to evaluate how much the recognition rate of the facial reconstructions is affected by the cross-race effect (‘cross-race effect on recognizing reconstructed faces’). Fifteen facial reconstructions from three racial type skulls were produced by experienced or trained practitioners who had different racial backgrounds in order to explore the aims. The results demonstrated that the reconstructions from the same race skulls to the practitioners were recognised more accurately by the assessors from three racial groups, and that training and experience in recognising and reconstructing the face from other race can reduce the cross-race effect.

La recherche sur la modélisation et la poursuite du visage humain dans des séquences d'images est un des sujets les plus étudiés en Infographie aussi bien qu'en Vision par ordinateur. Les travaux présentés dans cette thèse sont consacrés au problème du suivi 3D du visage dans des séquences vidéos. Ils utilisent une approche basée sur la collaboration entre la vision par ordinateur et l'infographie qui permet de reconstituer la position et l'expression du visage dans chaque image de la séquence. L'approche emploie un modèle spécifique du visage, ainsi qu'un système d'animation permettant de simuler les expressions du visage. Les techniques développées dans cette thèse se décomposent en trois parties. Tout d'abord, nous présentons une approche originale de modélisation 3D d'un visage à partir de seulement quelques images. Elle utilise un mod- èle générique du visage (3D) qui est déformé de manière à ce qu'un certain nombre de points caractéristiques ainsi que les silhouettes de ce modèle 3D se calent sur ceux des images données en entrée. L'accent principal dans l'algorithme de suivi est mis sur la détection précise d'expressions faciales. Dans la deuxième partie nous présentons deux approches de la modélisation d'animation du visage: une approche pseudo-musculaire et une méthode basée sur la spécification du standard MPEG-4. Basée sur ces deux modèles d'animation nous avons développé une technique hybride en les combinant d'une manière hiérarchique. Finalement, dans la troisième et dernière partie nous décrivons notre technique du suivi qui permet d'obtenir la position et l'expression d'un visage sans aucune interaction de la part de l'utilisateur sauf dans la phase d'initialisation du système sur la première imageHuman faces are one of the most researched topics in the domains of both computer graphics and computer vision. This thesis addresses the problem of 3D face tracking from standard video sequences and proposes an approach based upon computer vision/computer graphics collaboration techniques to recover face position and expression in each video frame. Precision of tracking being of major importance, we use a model-based approach with a model adapted to the specific tracked face, and an animation layer built over it. This work consists of three different parts. We start by investigating the possible ways of creation of a customized face model and propose an efficient markerless method for face reconstruction using only a small set of images driving the morphological deformation of a predefined generic mesh. The main focus in tracking is made on precise detection of facial expressions. In this context, several approaches to facial animation are presented: a pseudomuscular approach and a method based on MPEG-4 specification. Based upon these animation systems we developed a hybrid technique by combining them in a hierarchical manner, which allows us to benefit from strong points of both. Finally, in the third and last part we present our tracking technique that allows to obtain the 3D pose and expression of a face in a video sequence without any interaction of the user, except at the initialization stage (first image)

Full textAbstract:
Bone loss from the cranio-maxillofacial region is a major clinical problem affecting patients worldwide. Conventional treatment strategy includes the use of autogenous or allogeneic bone, biomaterials, and osteogenic growth factors. However, there has been no effective therapy for most cases so far. Stem cell-based gene therapy is the latest research method with possible applications in humans. The present study aims to (1) characterize rabbit mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) relating to growth pattern, surface antigens, and the potential for multi-differentiation; (2) determine the transduction efficiency and duration of recombinant adeno-associated virus2 carrying enhanced green fluorescent
protein (rAAV2EGFP) reporter gene in rabbit MSCs and study the effects of rAAV2EGFP transduction on stem cells’ phenotype and capacity of multi-differentiation;
(3) evaluate the differentiation characteristics of rabbit MSCs following recombinant adeno-associated virus 2 carrying bone morphogenetic protein 2 gene (rAAV2BMP2) transduction; (4) investigate whether MSCs transduced by rAAV2BMP2 could successfully induce bone regeneration in rabbit critical-size cranial defects.
MSCs were isolated from bone marrows of rabbit tibias and cultured. Cell counting and colony-forming assays demonstrated that growth rates of MSCs dropped substantially with increasing passages. Flow cytometry on MSCs at passage 1 showed that cells expressed high level of CD49a and low level of CD44 as well as stage-specific embryonic antigen 4 (SSEA4). Multi-differentiation and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RTPCR) tests demonstrated that rabbit MSCs were capable to differentiate into osteocytes, chondrocytes and adipocytes. Immunofluorescence microscopy showed that rabbit MSCs produced a series of hematopoietic growth factors, including stem cell factor (SCF), vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGFA) and granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GMCSF).
Subsequently, rabbit MSCs were transduced with rAAV2EGFP in vitro. By comparing the transduction efficiency with different doses of rAAV2EGFP particles, multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 1 x 10 4 was identified as an optimal parameter for the transduction of rAAV2 in rabbit MSCs. Fluorescent microscopy demonstrated long-term expression of EGFP in rabbit MSCs after transduction both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, cell proliferation assay, adipogenic induction test and flow cytometry showed that rAAV2EGFP transduced MSCs exhibited a similar pattern with non-transduced cells on the cell growth, capacity of adipogenic differentiation and expression of surface antigens, indicating that rabbit MSCs maintain their stem cell properties after rAAV2EGFP transduction.published_or_final_version

Full textAbstract:
A preocupação com a identificação, que é o processo pelo qual se determina a identidade, é bastante antiga. Atualmente, as relações sociais ou exigências civis, penais, administrativas e comerciais necessitam de sua comprovação. A identificação de pessoas mortas é fundamental, não somente para aplacar as necessidades emocionais de seus amigos e familiares, como também para que providências legais relativas ao óbito possam ser tomadas. Infelizmente, amiúde ocorrem situações em que corpos chegam aos Institutos Médico-Legais em estado de putrefação ou esqueletização, e não são identificados. Em tais situações, análises antropométricas para estimar, por exemplo, idade, gênero e estatura, são de grande valia. Nestes casos, a reconstrução facial forense será muito importante, pois pode possibilitar o reconhecimento e, por conseguinte, aumentar consideravelmente as chances de identificação. A reconstrução facial forense tridimensional pode ser manual ou digital. A reconstrução facial forense digital tornou-se possível com o advento da Tecnologia da Informação, imaginologia médica e novos softwares de imagem 3D e de reconstrução. Para a realização da reconstrução facial, são necessários dados relativos à espessura dos tecidos moles da face. Não há na literatura registros de trabalhos de reconstrução facial digital realizados com dados de tecidos moles obtidos a partir de amostras constituídas por sujeitos brasileiros. Há duas tabelas de espessura de tecidos moles publicadas para a população brasileira: uma obtida a partir de medidas realizadas em cadáveres frescos (padrão cadáveres frescos), e outra a partir de medidas em exames de ressonância magnética (padrão ressonância magnética). O objetivo do presente trabalho foi realizar três diferentes reconstruções faciais forenses digitais caracterizadas (com cabelo, cílios e sobrancelha) de um sujeito brasileiro (realizadas a partir de um padrão internacional e dois padrões nacionais de espessura de tecidos moles da face), e avaliar as reconstruções faciais forenses digitais comparando-as com fotografias do próprio indivíduo e de outros nove sujeitos. Para isso, foram utilizadas imagens DICOM de uma Tomografia Computadorizada (TC) cedidas por um voluntário que, uma vez convertidas, foram utilizadas para a efetivação das reconstruções faciais digitais. Uma vez realizadas as três reconstruções, as mesmas foram comparadas com fotografias do voluntário que teve a sua face reconstruída e outros nove sujeitos. Trinta examinadores participaram desta tentativa de reconhecimento. O sujeito-alvo, que teve a sua face reconstruída, foi reconhecido por 26,67% dos examinadores na reconstrução realizada com o Padrão nacional de Ressonância Magnética, 23,33% na reconstrução realizada com o Padrão nacional de Cadáveres Frescos e 20,00% na reconstrução realizada com o Padrão Internacional, tendo sido o sujeito mais reconhecido nos dois primeiros padrões. Os reconhecimentos acertados do sujeito-alvo indicam que a reconstrução facial forense digital, realizada com parâmetros empregados neste trabalho, pode ser ferramenta útil para, havendo um ou vários sujeitos reconhecidos, chegar-se a uma identificação positiva.The concern with the identification, that is the process by which the identity is determined, is quite old. Currently, the social relations or civil, criminal, administrative and commercial requirements need its evidence. The identification of deceased persons is essential not only to assuage the emotional needs of their friends and family, but also to allow legal actions related to death. Unfortunately, situations often occur when bodies arrive at the Medico-Legal Institutes in a state of putrefaction or skeletonization, and are not identified. In such situations, anthropometric analysis to estimate, for example, age, gender and height, are of great value. In these cases, forensic facial reconstruction is very important because it may serve to recognize and therefore increase the chances of identification. The three-dimensional forensic facial reconstruction can be manual or digital. The digital forensic facial reconstruction was made possible with the advent of Information Technology, medical imaging and new 3D image and reconstruction softwares. To perform facial reconstruction, data on the thickness of the soft tissues of the face are necessary. There is no literature records of facial reconstruction works carried out with digital data of soft tissues obtained from samples of Brazilian subjects. There are two tables of thickness of soft tissue published for the Brazilian population: one obtained from measurements performed in fresh cadavers (fresh cadavers pattern), and another from measurements on magnetic resonance imaging (magnetic resonance pattern). The aim of this study was to perform three different characterized digital forensic facial reconstructions (with hair, eyelashes and eyebrows) of a Brazilian subject (based on an international pattern and two national patterns for soft facial tissue thickness), and evaluate the digital forensic facial reconstructions comparing them to photos of the individual and other nine subjects. We used DICOM images of a computed tomography (CT) donated by a volunteer that, once converted, were used for the realization of the digital facial reconstructions. Once we\'ve performed the three reconstructions, they were compared with photographs of the volunteer who had his face reconstructed and of nine other subjects. Thirty examiners participated in this recognition attempt. The target subject, who had his face reconstructed, was recognized by 26.67% of the examiners in the reconstruction performed with the national Magnetic Resonance Pattern, 23.33% in the reconstruction performed with the national Fresh Cadavers Pattern of and 20.00 % in the reconstruction performed with the International Pattern, and the target-subject was the most recognized subject in the first two patterns. The correct recognitions of the subject indicate that the digital forensic facial reconstruction, carried out with parameters used in this study, may be a useful tool, with one or more subjects recognized to achieve a positive identification.

Este trabalho teve o propósito de avaliar a relação entre a cartilagem alar e a abertura piriforme a partir de imagens de tomografia computadorizada cone-beam e a relação do nariz com o padrão esquelético vertical da face. A pesquisa foi realizada com 96 imagens de indivíduos de ambos os sexos (49 masculino e 47 feminino), com idades entre 18 e 65 anos classificados de acordo com sua tipologia facial. Para a realização das marcações e mensurações de interesse foi utilizado o software OsiriX. A tipologia facial foi acessada através de três metodologias: índice facial, ângulo goníaco e proporção entre as alturas faciais. No corte axial da imagem de tomografia computadorizada, foram aferidas quatro grandezas lineares: largura do nariz externo, distância entre as inserções alares, extensão da base da abertura piriforme e máxima largura da abertura piriforme. Todas as grandezas foram mensuradas por dois examinadores em concordância. A análise dos resultados obtidos mostrou que há correlação entre as larguras do nariz externo e da abertura piriforme e entre a base da cavidade nasal e a distância entre as inserções alares. A largura da abertura piriforme aumenta proporcionalmente mais que a do nariz. Além disso, a tipologia facial longa associa-se à largura nasal.The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the alar cartilage and the pyriform aperture using cone-beam computed tomography (CT) imaging, and the relationship between the morphology of the nose and the vertical skeletal pattern of the face. 96 images of subjects (49 male and 47 female), aged 18-65 years classified according to the vertical skeletal pattern of the face were used in this study. The OsiriX software was used to measure the structures of interest. The facial pattern was obtained according to three techniques: facial index, gonial angle, and facial proportions. From an axial section of the CT imaging, four measurements were performed: nasal width, distance between the alar insertions, extension of the base of the pyriform aperture and width of the pyriform aperture. All measurements were obtained by two calibrated examiners. There is correlation between the nasal width and the breadth of the pyriform aperture, and between the base of the nasal cavity and the distance between the alar insertions. The width of the pyriform aperture proportionally increases more than the nasal breadth. Furthermore, the long face type is associated with nasal width.

Full textAbstract:
Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a condition caused by prenatal alcohol exposure. The diagnosis of FAS is based on the presence of central nervous system impairments, evidence of growth abnormalities and abnormal facial features. Direct anthropometry has traditionally been used to obtain facial data to assess the FAS facial features. Research efforts have focused on indirect anthropometry such as 3D surface imaging systems to collect facial data for facial analysis. However, 3D surface imaging systems are costly. As an alternative, approaches for 3D reconstruction from a single 2D image of the face using a 3D morphable model (3DMM) were explored in this research study. The research project was accomplished in several steps. 3D facial data were obtained from the publicly available BU-3DFE database, developed by the State University of New York. The 3D face scans in the training set were landmarked by different observers. The reliability and precision in selecting 3D landmarks were evaluated. The intraclass correlation coefficients for intra- and inter-observer reliability were greater than 0.95. The average intra-observer error was 0.26 mm and the average inter-observer error was 0.89 mm. A rigid registration was performed on the 3D face scans in the training set. Following rigid registration, a dense point-to-point correspondence across a set of aligned face scans was computed using the Gaussian process model fitting approach. A 3DMM of the face was constructed from the fully registered 3D face scans. The constructed 3DMM of the face was evaluated based on generalization, specificity, and compactness. The quantitative evaluations show that the constructed 3DMM achieves reliable results. 3D face reconstructions from single 2D images were estimated based on the 3DMM. The MetropolisHastings algorithm was used to fit the 3DMM features to 2D image features to generate the 3D face reconstruction. Finally, the geometric accuracy of the reconstructed 3D faces was evaluated based on ground-truth 3D face scans. The average root mean square error for the surface-to-surface comparisons between the reconstructed faces and the ground-truth face scans was 2.99 mm. In conclusion, a framework to estimate 3D face reconstructions from single 2D facial images was developed and the reconstruction errors were evaluated. The geometric accuracy of the 3D face reconstructions was comparable to that found in the literature. However, future work should consider minimizing reconstruction errors to acceptable clinical standards in order for the framework to be useful for 3D-from-2D reconstruction in general, and also for developing FAS applications. Finally, future work should consider estimating a 3D face using multi-view 2D images to increase the information available for 3D-from-2D reconstruction.

Notre propos, dans le cadre de cette these, est de realiser une aide au geste therapeutique pour le traitement des dysmorphoses dans le domaine du planning maxillo-facial, en simulant les gestes chirurgicaux au niveau osseux et ce afin de mettre en evidence le resultat morphologique obtenu sur les tissus mous. La prediction de cet aspect post-chirurgical est un probleme qui revet un interet important pour la chirurgie maxillo-faciale : une grande partie des procedures appliquees par le praticien mene en effet a des modifications parfois notables des structures osseuses et par consequent a des transformations visibles du tissu facial. Nous abordons en premier lieu le transfert et l'acces aux differentes modalites medicales concernees et le support des formats et protocoles correspondants. Nous etudions ensuite la reconstruction 3d des principaux types de tissus impliques dans cette simulation, a partir des acquisitions issues du scanner ct. Les approches volumiques et surfaciques sont abordees, des maillages 3d iso-surfaciques des tissus mous et osseux sont etablis et optimises.

Full textAbstract:
La reconstruction faciale à partir d'un squelette crânien est une technique importante dans plusieurs domaines scientifiques, en particulier dans les sciences médico-légales, l'archéologie et la paléontologie pour l'identification de crânes et la reconnaissance de personnes. Elle fait partie des méthodes d'identification reconstructive et est utilisée le plus souvent en dernier recours, lorsqu'aucune autre technique ne permet de présumer l'identité inconnue de la personne. Cette thèse aborde la problématique de la reconstruction faciale à partir d'images tridimensionnelles (3D) de crânes humains considérés comme étant inconnus. Nous présentons une méthode de reconstruction faciale 3D informatisée reposant sur des techniques récentes d'imagerie médicale avec comme principaux objectifs la rapidité du traitement et l'élimination de la subjectivité en s'appuyant en particulier sur des critères mathématiques pour évaluer les résultats. Notre méthode est fondée sur une approche par modèle déformable contraint par la connaissance des épaisseurs des tissus mous en un certain nombre de points de repère caractéristiques. Elle utilise, pour chaque reconstruction faciale, une image 3D d'une tête de référence dont nous extrayons la peau et le crâne, et une image 3D du crâne d'une tête inconnue dont nous voulons reconstruire la peau. La procédure de la reconstruction faciale est divisée en deux principales étapes. Une étape d'initialisation du modèle déformable est fondée sur une technique de recalage non linéaire guidé par un modèle de déformations de forme libre (FFD) à base de B-splines. Nous proposons donc une initialisation automatique, réalisée uniquement à partir d'un ensemble crâne et peau de référence et du crâne inconnu. Nous calculons, dans un premier temps, une transformation de l'image 3D d'un crâne de référence vers celle du crâne inconnu. Ensuite, nous appliquons la même transformation pour déformer l'image de la peau de référence vers une nouvelle peau que nous considérons proche de la peau inconnue et qui servira d'initialisation à la reconstruction faciale finale. Dans une seconde étape, la peau initiale, résultant de la transformation calculée précédemment, est raffinée à l'aide d'un modèle déformable 3D à base de maillages simplexes qui est attiré par un ensemble des points de repère caractéristiques préalablement calculés par un calcul des courbures moyenne et gaussienne, et fixés selon les positions des repères anthropologiques de Rhine et Campbell [Rhine et Campbell, 1980]. L'évolution de notre modèle déformable est effectuée suivant différentes forces internes et externes dont la force de champ de vecteurs de gradients (GVF) et une force de pression. Cette méthode a été testée sur treize ensembles de données crâne/peau issus d'IRM-3D de têtes d'individus enfants et adultes. Pour chaque reconstruction faciale, deux ensembles crâne/peau correspondant à une tête de référence et à une tête dont la peau est à reconstruire sont sélectionnés selon des caractéristiques anthropologiques similaires. Par cette méthode, nous obtenons des résultats encourageants. Les formes reconstruites restent des visages, visiblement acceptables, et sont relativement proches des visages réels.

Esta tese é composta por três capítulos. O primeiro teve o objetivo de avaliar a acurácia e a semelhança da reconstrução facial forense computadorizada (RFFC) tridimensional realizada com softwares livres. As RFFC foram realizadas no programa Blender® a partir de tomografias do crânio, utilizando templates do MakeHuman®. A avaliação da acurácia foi feita no CloudCompare® que comparou a RFFC com a pele na tomografia, enquanto a avaliação da semelhança foi realizada no Picasa® utilizando fotografias dos participantes. Os resultados mostraram que do total de pontos que formam cada reconstrução, 63.20% a 73.67% apresentaram uma distância de -2,5 <= x <= 2,5mm entre a RFFC e a superfície da pele, enquanto a distância média variou entre -1,66 a 0,33mm. Duas das quatro reconstruções foram reconhecidas objetivamente pelo Picasa®. As RFFC realizadas utilizando esses softwares apresentam plausíveis níveis de acurácia e semelhança, portanto indicam valor para uso no campo forense. Os outros dois capítulos tiveram como objetivo avaliar a estabilidade métrica facial do mesmo indivíduo por meio da análise de fotografias tomadas em um intervalo de tempo de cinco anos. Trata-se de um estudo longitudinal realizado com fotografias frontais padronizadas de 666 indivíduos adultos divididos por faixa etária e sexo. Com o programa SAFF 2D foram marcados 32 pontos, cujas coordenadas foram utilizadas para calcular 40 medidas, sendo 20 horizontais e 20 verticais. Cada uma dessas medidas foi dividida pelo diâmetro da íris e assim foram obtidas razões iridianas. Os resultados mostraram que a maioria das razões não sofreu variação estatisticamente significante. As razões que tiveram maior variação foram aquelas da região do nariz e da boca. Quando se compara as faixas etárias entre si observa-se que a grande maioria das razões é diferente, mostrando a influência da idade nas dimensões faciais. Quando se compara a estabilidade dentro mesmo sexo observa-se que houve razões que diminuíram e outras aumentaram tanto no sexo feminino quanto no sexo masculino, enquanto outras variaram apenas em um dos sexos. Quando se compara a variação entre os sexos observa-se que a maioria das razões é diferente, mostrando o dimorfismo sexual das medidas faciais. A face passa por alterações métricas ao longo da vida em todas as faixas etárias, principalmente na região do nariz e boca, com maiores diferenças após os 60 anos. Além disso, algumas medidas faciais são mais influenciadas pelo sexo do que outras. Entretanto, a maioria das medidas levantadas se mantem relativamente estáveis dentro de um período de 5 anos tanto em relação ao sexo quanto a idade.This thesis contains three chapters. The aim of the first chapter was to evaluate the accuracy and recognition level of three-dimensional (3D) computerized forensic craniofacial reconstruction (CCFR) performed in a blind test on open-source software using computed tomography data from live subjects. The CCFRs were completed using Blender® with 3D models obtained from the computed tomography data and templates from the MakeHuman® program. The evaluation of accuracy was carried out in CloudCompare®, by geometric comparison of the CCFR to the subject 3D face model (obtained from the CT data). A recognition level was performed using the Picasa® with a frontal standardized photography. The results were presented from all the points that form the CCFR model, with an average for each comparison between 63.20% and 73.67% with a distance -2.5 <= x <= 2.5 mm from the skin surface and the average distances were 1.66 to 0.33 mm. Two of the four CCFRs were correctly matched by the Picasa® tool. Free software programs are capable of producing 3D CCFRs with plausible levels of accuracy and recognition and therefore indicate their value for use in forensic applications. The other two chapters study the facial comparison and aimed to evaluate the facial metrical stability of an individual through photographs taken in a time interval of five years. It is a longitudinal study composed of standard frontal photographs of 666 adults divided by sex and age groups. By using the SAFF 2D® software, 32 landmarks were positioned, whose coordinates were used to calculate 40 measurements, 20 horizontal and 20 vertical. Each of these measurements was divided by iris diameter and thus iridian ratios were obtained. The results showed that most of the ratios did not suffer statistically significant variations. The ratios that had the greatest variation in the different age groups were those of the nose and mouth regions. When comparing the age groups with each other it is observed that the great majority of the reasons are different, showing the influence of age on the facial dimensions. When comparing stability with respect to sex, it was observed that there were ratios that decreased and others that increased in both sexes, while other ratios varied only in females or in males. When the sexes were compared, it was observed that the majority of the ratios were different, showing sexual dimorphism of the facial measures. The face undergoes metrical alterations throughout the life, mainly in the region of the nose and mouth, with the greatest differences seen in those who are aged 60 years and older. In addition, some facial measures are more influenced by sex than others. However, most of the measures raised have remained relatively stable within a period of five years in both sex and age groups.

A Reconstrução Facial Forense (RFF) é uma área da Antropologia Forense que busca aproximar a aparência de um indivíduo desconhecido por meio de reconstrução dos tecidos moles sobre seu crânio, após seu estudo antropológico. A RFF divulgada nos meios de comunicação visa a um reconhecimento, que pode desencadear um processo de identificação humana. Conhecer as relações entre tecidos duros e moles é essencial para se aumentar a precisão das RFFs. Neste estudo, buscou-se reunir informações antropométricas sobre a boca e suas proporções. Foram constituídas duas amostras a partir de um acervo de tomografias computadorizadas. A amostra 1 (n=327) consistiu em homens (n=127) e mulheres (n=185) entre 11 e 81 anos, divididos em seis faixas etárias e buscou verificar as distâncias lineares delimitadas por pontos anatômicos em tecido mole: altura da zona vermelha da boca, largura da boca, proporção entre os mesmos e possibilidade de se estimar a largura da boca a partir da distância intercanina. A amostra 2 (n=108) consistiu em homens (n=40) e mulheres (n=68) entre 20 e 81 anos, divididos em três faixas etárias e buscou verificar as proporções entre altura da zonas vermelha da boca, largura da boca e distâncias lineares entre pontos craniométricos em tecidos duros. As medições foram feitas com o programa OsiriX e os resultados foram analisados através de através de estatística descritiva para todas as variáveis estudadas, por meio da comparação entre as médias, os desvios padrão e as diferenças entre as médias, com intervalo de confiança de 95% (IC95%) e aceitando nível de significância de 5% (p<0,05). Para a amostra 1, a altura da zona vermelha correspondeu a aproximadamente 26% da largura da boca, em ambos os sexos, com tendência a diminuir ao longo do tempo. A largura da boca aumentou ao longo do tempo em homens e manteve-se estável em mulheres. À distância intercanina se atribuiu o valor médio de 75% da largura da boca, em homens, e 80% da largura da boca em mulheres. Para a amostra 2, à distância entre os pontos infradentale e supramentale se atribuiu em média 55% da altura da zona vermelha para ambos os sexos, e entre os pontos philtrum medium e supradentale, em média 85% da altura da zona vermelha em homens, e 88% da mesma medida em mulheres. À distância entre os forames mentuais, se atribuiu em média 97% da largura da boca em mulheres, e em homens 93% deste valor. A reunião de dados antropométricos da boca para a população brasileira pode contribuir para aumentar a precisão das RFFs e auxiliar a identificação humana.Forensic Facial Reconstruction (FFR) is an area of Forensic Anthropology that seeks to approximate the appearance of an unknown individual by reconstructing soft tissues over ones skull after an anthropological analysis. The FFR published in the media aims at a recognition, which can trigger a process of human identification. Knowing the relationship between hard and soft tissues is crucial to increase the accuracy of FFRs. In this study, we sought to gather anthropometric information on the mouth and its proportions. Two samples were taken from a collection of CBCT scans. Sample 1 (n=327) consisted of men (n=127) and women (n=185) aged between 11 and 81 years old, divided into six age groups and verified the linear distances defined by anatomical landmarks in soft tissue: vermillion height, mouth width, the proportion between these and the possibility of estimating mouth width from the intercanine distance. Sample 2 (n=108) consisted of men (n=40) and women (n=68) aged between 20 and 81 years old, divided into three age groups, and verified the proportions between the vermilllions of the mouth, mouth width and linear distances marked in bony craniometrical landmarks. The measurements were made in OsiriX software and the results were analyzed by averages, standard deviations and differences between the averages. For sample 1, vermillion height corresponded to approximately 26% of mouth width, in both genders, with a tendency to decrease over time. Mouth width increased over time in men, and kept stable values in women. The intercanine distance corresponded to about 75% of mouth width in men, and 80% of the mouth width in women. For sample 2, the distance between the landmarks infradentale and supramentale and was on average 55% of the vermillion height in both genders, and the distance between the landmarks philtrum medium and supradentale was about 85% of the vermillion height in men and about 88% of the same measure, in women. The distance between the mental foramina was on average 97% of the mouth width in women, and 93% of this distance in men. Gathering anthropometric information on the mouth for the Brazilian population can contribute to increase the accuracy of FFRs and assist human identification.

Observational cross-sectional study of all consecutive patients with the diagnosis of skin tumor located in the nasal unit, treated from 2018 to 2019 by the department of head and neck surgery of a general hospital. 60 patients were treated with nasal skin tumors excisions. A total of 52 patients (86,6%) had basal cell skin cancer, 7 (11,6%) had squamous cell skin cancer and 1 (1,6%) had melanoma. Fifty-nine patients (98.33%) presented a primary tumor and just 1 case (1,66%) recived a previous surgical treatment. Regardless of the type of tumor, the tip subunit was the most often involved with 29 (48,33%) cases in total. Despite of the nasal aesthetic subunit affected, the most frequent type of procedure used for reconstruction was the rotation or advancement flap, based on aesthetic nasal subunits, which was performed in 39 cases (65%). Nasal reconstruction after skin cancer can be very complex, especially since all patients have high expectations about the results. In order to achieve good results, there is a necessity for careful analysis of the defect, correct planning and excellent technical execution of the procedures Frequently, staged procedures will be needed to achieve an optimal result.

Vanezis, Maria. "Forensic facial reconstruction using 3-D computer graphics : evaluation and improvement of its reliability in identification." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2008. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/375/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is concerned with computerised forensic 3-D facial reconstruction as a means of identification and involves the restoration of the face on the skull in an attempt to achieve a close likeness of the individual when alive. The reconstruction process begins with the biological identification of the skeletal remains, (age, sex, ancestry and build). Facial reconstruction is then carried out and essentially works by building the “face” up from the skull using soft tissue thicknesses at specific locations from existing data. However, it is used as a last resort on skeletonised, badly decomposed or mutilated corpses, when no other information is available; even then it is only accepted as corroborative evidence in court. It is performed in the hope that it may stimulate recognition, and consequently narrow the field of identification, allowing other tests to be carried out, such as radiographic and/or dental comparisons, DNA analysis or other means, to establish positive identification. The advantages of the computerised method over the manual clay reconstruction are speed, rapid editing capability, production of images that can be stored and reconstructions repeated at any time if required. Furthermore, in many cases, the original skull instead of a cast or model may be used for reconstruction because the 3-D computerised procedure is rapid and non invasive. However, the most significant advantage of this technique with regard to the aims and objectives of the thesis is that a number of alternative reconstructions may be produced sequentially for the same skull by using different facial templates from the database that meet the anthropological/biological criteria of the skull. The issues addressed by the study and therefore its main aims are: a) evaluation and b) improvement of the reliability of facial reconstruction using 3-D computer graphics. The methodology involved initially digitizing a skull using a low-power laser scanner and a video camera interfaced to a computer. From a database of previously scanned faces, ten facial templates were selected that matched the anthropological criteria of each of the skulls, i.e. age, sex, ancestry and build. Landmarks with their corresponding soft tissue thicknesses were then located and placed on the skull and the equivalent ones on the face. The 3-D computer graphics then reconstructed the face by morphing (warping) the facial template over the skull by matching the corresponding landmarks on the skull and face with the appropriate soft tissue thicknesses at those landmark locations. The soft tissue thicknesses used at their specific landmark locations also matched the anthropological criteria of the skulls, since soft tissue depths are dependent on age, sex, ancestry and build. One of the major problems with any reconstruction which affect its reliability for identification is the uncertainty of the shape of some of the individual characteristics of soft tissue structures such as shape of lips, ears and nose/nasal tip since there is not direct information on the skull regarding the shape of some of these features. In addition, with the laser scanning system, the faces within the database all have closed eyes, because of the potential laser hazard to the eyes. Thus it is necessary to add “opened” eyes, head and facial hair (where appropriate) to give a realistic appearance to the face. The software provides the facility to export a 2-D view in a TIFF or JPEG format from the 3-D reconstructed image. The file can then be imported into a police identi-kit system such as E-FIT™, which allows the addition of features. In this study five skulls of known individuals were used for reconstruction in the manner explained. Ten facial templates which fulfilled the anthropological criteria (age, sex, ancestry and build) for each skull were used for the rebuilding process, thus totalling fifty reconstructions. The study employed a psychological resemblance test (experiment 1) where 20 different assessors, were asked to select in each case study, the best three matches of the ten reconstructions with the ante-mortem photograph of the individual during life. The results from these tests were correlated with a mathematical shape analysis assessment using Procrustes Analysis in which, the skull was compared in turn with each of the ten facial templates of each case study (experiment 2).The ranking of the assessors’ reconstruction choice was correlated with the ranking of the Procrustes Analysis by using Spearman’s Rank Order Correlation. The results indicate that although not statistically significant, it would seem however, that in some of the case studies, the mathematical approach using Procrustes Analysis does seems to capture some perceptual similarity in human observers. Experiment 3, similar to experiment 1, was a further psychological resemblance test, which involved implementing E-Fit features on four of the ten reconstructed images per case study. Assessors were asked to select the closest E-Fit image match with the ante-mortem photograph. Again, results indicated that, although not statistically significant, adding E-Fit feature to the images appears to improve perceptual similarity in human observers, provided, the limitations of adding these characteristics are addressed. Furthermore, there also appears to be good agreement in most of the case studies between the two psychological resemblance tests using the two different sets of assessors in experiment 1 and 3 (reconstruction choice and E-Fit choice, respectively). Further work involving anthropometric comparisons and using two methods of assessment (landmark line matching between images and proportion indices) was also carried out (experiment 4). It was found that matching landmark lines between images appeared to be only of limited value due to the images not being aligned at exactly the same viewpoint and magnification. It should be appreciated that because the thesis was based on recognition and was not an anthropometric study, precise alignment of viewpoints was not a requirement. Hence using the same data from the study, although images were in the frontal view, they were not aligned to the accuracy acceptable for an anthropometric study as there was no requirement to so. It would appear that, although there was some correspondence between the discrepant distances and the first and second ranked reconstructions, no firm conclusions could be drawn from this technique and therefore does not assist in understanding the way observers made their choices. Further tests would need to be carried out (beyond the scope of the thesis) to reach any firm conclusions. Undoubtedly, given the complex nature of the recognition process, it would have been desirable to use reconstructions of persons known to the assessors rather than asking them to assess unfamiliar persons, since it is well established that familiar faces are easier to recognize than those that are unfamiliar to observers. It should be appreciated however, that, although the study was designed in this way for practical and ethical reasons, it nevertheless does not truly reflect the real operational forensic scenario. Furthermore, recognition/matching is a much more complex process and even a reconstructed face which may be generally morphologically similar to the person in life may not capture perceptual similarity in human observers, especially in an unfamiliar scenario. It is not certain that identification will always occur even when the facial reconstruction bears good resemblance to the target individual.

A reconstrução facial, também conhecida como aproximação facial, é conhecida e realizada há muito tempo por profissionais da medicina forense e de áreas antropológicas. No caso da medicina forense, por exemplo, ela pode ser bastante útil quando não existem indícios que viabilizem a identificação do individuo por meios considerados de maior precisão, como por exemplo, exame de DNA ou de arcos dentários. Outra aplicação possível é auxiliar aos investigadores na redução do número de sujeitos (soluções) possíveis em casos de indivíduos não identificados, viabilizando a aplicação de exames de maior precisão. Existem vários métodos utilizados para a reconstrução facial, que pesquisadores constantemente buscam melhorar e aperfeiçoar. Esses métodos podem ser classificados em reconstrução facial por meio de imagens 2D ou reconstrução facial por meio de objetos 3D. Dentre esses métodos, podemos encontrar a reconstrução facial que faz uso de ferramentas de computação gráfica em 3D que pode ser realizada tanto na forma manual, onde ferramentas de computação gráfica simulam ferramentas utilizadas no mundo real no processo de reconstrução facial, ou na forma automatizada, onde o usuário informa ao software alguns dados como sexo, idade e etnia e a máquina realiza todo o processo de reconstrução facial. A proposta desse trabalho foi de aplicar técnicas de modelagem e de inserção de medidas de tecidos moles em um modelo 3D de crânio, de forma a validar o uso da computação gráfica como ferramenta de auxilio ao reconhecimento facial em procedimentos de medicina forense. O modelo de crânio foi reconstruído a partir de imagens obtidas por exame de tomografia computadorizada de um crânio real. Foi realizado um estudo de caso de um cadáver exumado de uma pessoa que possuía o registro de imagem em vida e utilizados dados de medidas de tecidos moles da face de brasileiros. Os testes foram realizados manualmente utilizando ferramentas de computação gráfica em 3D, atualmente disponíveis e os resultados avaliados de forma quantitativa. Os testes quantitativos foram realizados de forma a comparar os relevos 3D das reconstruções de face com interpolação e sem interpolação de pontos craniométricos e para diferentes padrões de tecidos moles.The facial reconstruction, also known as facial approximation, is performed for centuries by forensic medicine professionals and anthropological areas researchers. In the forensic medicine, for example, it is used when there is no evidence that allows the identification of the individual by considered accurate means, such as DNA testing or dental records. Thus, the purpose of facial reconstruction is to assist researchers in reducing the number of possible unidentified people, therewith allowing the use of accurate tests. There are several methods used for facial reconstruction and researchers are constantly seeking to refine and improve. Then, these methods can be classified as facial reconstruction using 2D images or 3D objects. Among these methods, we can find the facial reconstruction that uses 3D computer graphics tools. This method can be performed both in manual form, where computer graphics tools are used in simulating the real world tools in the facial reconstruction process, or the automated way, where the user input data such as gender, age and ethnicity and the machine performs the entire process of facial reconstruction. The work purpose is to apply modeling techniques and the inclusion of soft tissues measures in 3D skull model, to validate the computer graphics use as a tool to aid the facial recognition in forensic medicine procedures. The skull model was reconstructed from computed tomography. Thus, we performed a study case of an exhumed body, who had the image registration in life as well as soft tissue measures data of the Brazilians faces. The tests were performed using manually 3D computer graphics tools currently available and the results were evaluated both quantitatively. The quantitative tests were performed comparing the surfaces of 3D reconstructions with interpolated and no interpolated craniometric points and to different soft tissues patterns.

A aproximação fisionômica é o método que busca, a partir do crânio, simular a fotografia de um indivíduo quando em vida. Deve ser empregada como último recurso, na busca de desaparecidos, quando não houver possibilidade de aplicação de um método válido de identificação. O objetivo deste estudo foi obter a aproximação fisionômica, a partir de um crânio seco e de tomografia computadorizada multislice de indivíduos vivos, através da função de base radial hermitiana (FBRH). Constituiu-se também em avaliar o resultado da mesma quanto ao reconhecimento. Na primeira etapa do estudo, foi utilizada a imagem escaneada de um crânio seco, de origem desconhecida, com o intuito de avaliar se a quantidade de pontos obtidos seria suficiente para aplicação da FBRH e consequente reconstrução da superfície facial. Na segunda fase, foram utilizadas três tomografias de indivíduos vivos, para análise da semelhança alcançada entre a face escaneada e as aproximações faciais. Nesta etapa, foi aplicada uma associação de diferentes metodologias já publicadas, para reconstrução de uma mesma região da face, a partir de um mesmo crânio. Na última etapa, foram simuladas situações de reconhecimento com familiares e amigos dos indivíduos doadores das tomografias. Observou-se que a metodologia de FBRH pode ser empregada em aproximação fisionômica. Houve reconhecimento positivo nos três sujeitos estudados, sendo que, em dois deles, os resultados foram ainda mais significativos. Desta forma, conclui-se que a metodologia é rápida, objetiva e proporciona o reconhecimento. Esta permite a criação de múltiplas versões de aproximações fisionômicas a partir do mesmo crânio, o que amplia as possibilidades de reconhecimento. Observou-se ainda que a técnica não exige habilidade artística do profissional.Facial approximation works by building the visual face up from the skull. This method should be performed as last resort, to carry out for missing persons, when there is no other primary identification method avaliable. The purpose of this study was to introduce a new computerized method with hermite radial basis function (HRBF) for facial approximation using dry skull and computed tomography (CT). The same was also evaluated as a result of the recognition. Firstly, a scan of a dry unidentified skull image was used in order to assess if the amount of points would be sufficient for HRBF methodology and subsequent reconstruction of the facial surface. In second, three CT scans of living individuals were used to evaluate the similarity achieved between the real face scanned and facial approximations. An association of different facial structures reconstruction techniques already published for the same region of the face was applied for the same skull. Moreover, some situations from developed facial approximations were simulated, as recognition by a relative or parent, on a face pool-test. Results from the study showed that the purposed methodology can be used for facial approximation. At the three cases a correct approximation identification as one of a few possible matches to the missing person happened. In two of them, the results were consistently better at identifying the correct approximation. In conclusion, the proposed methodology is fast, objective and reaches visual identification. It is possible to perform multiple versions of the same skull, changing the selected data into the system, which maximizes the chances of establishing recognition of the target face. It was also observed that the technique does not need artistic interpretation.

Reconstrução facial forense é uma técnica utilizada com a finalidade de reconhecimento e posterior identificação, nas situações em que inexiste uma identidade atribuível ao esqueleto submetido à perícia médico-legal. Objetivou-se neste estudo mensurar as espessuras de tecidos moles que recobrem a face em cadáveres que deram entrada no Instituto Médico Legal (IML) de Guarulhos no período de setembro de 2010 a setembro de 2011. Foram efetuadas mensurações de 49 pontos anatômicos da face em cadáveres com menos de 24 horas do óbito; tais mensurações foram analisadas por meio do teste t com p bicaudal. O projeto foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da FOUSP (protocolo 144/2010). Um total de 100 cadáveres foi estudado, sendo 64 do sexo masculino e 26 do sexo feminino. Eles pertenciam majoritariamente à faixa etária de 41 a 60 anos. Optou-se por utilizar nomenclatura em língua inglesa com a finalidade de facilitar comparações com trabalhos internacionais. Dos 49 marcos mensurados, apenas cinco apresentaram um p menor que 0,05, ou seja, para os seguintes pontos as medidas entre homens e mulheres não são as mesmas quando comparadas em relação ao sexo: upper lip margin (p=0,006), superior labius sulcus (p=0,006), stomion (p=o,001), lateral orbits direito (p=0,008) e chelion esquerdo (p=0,009). Os pontos anatômicos analisados permitiram estabelecer parâmetros mais precisos de espessuras faciais aplicáveis na reconstrução facial de cadáveres da população brasileira. Além disso, os marcos anatômicos analisados permitiram a construção de uma tabela com finalidade de reconstrução facial forense.Forensic facial reconstruction is a technique that has the aim of recognition and identification, in situations in which a known identity of the sketelon submetted to medico-legal procedures is not available. The objective of the study was to study the soft tissue thicknesses that cover the face of autopsied corpses that were sent to Guarulho´s Medical-Legal Institute from September 2010 to September 2011. Measurements of 49 anatomic references were performed in the face of corpses with less than 24 hours of death; data were analysed using t test with bicaudal p. The project was approved by the University of São Paulo´s School of Dentistry Ethics Committee (protocol number 144/2010). One hundred corpses were studied, being 64 male and 26 female. They were mainly 41 to 60 years old. Among all the 49 studied anatomic references, just five presented a p value lower than 0.05, that is, these references showed differences between sex: upper lip margin (p=0.006), superior labius sulcus (p=0.006), stomion (p=0,001), right lateral orbits (p=0.008) and left chelion (p=0.009). The studied anatomic references allowed to establish more precise parameters of the faces thicknesses that can be applied in corpses facial reconstructions in the Brazilian population, and some anatomic references presented a higher discriminant Power with regard to sex. Furthermore, the anatomic landmarks offered information to a reference table with the objective of forensic facial reconstruction.

Ce travail de thèse, inclus dans un projet structurant plus vaste, projet SIMOVI (SImulation des MOuvements du VIsage), s’attache à étudier spécifiquement la mimique faciale en corrélant les déplacements visibles du revêtement cutané et les mouvements musculaires internes à travers le développement de plusieurs méthodologies. L’ensemble de la mimique faciale ne pouvant être étudié, étant donné la multitude d’expressions, les mouvements pertinents à étudier dans nos travaux ont été identifiés. Ces mouvements ont été caractérisés chez 23 sujets jeunes dans une analyse descriptive qualitative et clinique, basée sur une méthodologie s’appuyant sur l’analyse d’enregistrements vidéoscopiques, et le développement d’un codage issu du FACS (Facial Action Coding System). Une cohorte de référence a ainsi été constituée. Après avoir validé notre méthodologie pour la caractérisation externe de la mimique, l’analyse des muscles peauciers par l’IRM a été réalisée sur 10 hémifaces parmi les sujets sains issus de la cohorte. Cette caractérisation a fait appel, à partir d’une anatomie in vivo, à une modélisation de certains muscles peauciers (zygomaticus major en particulier) afin d’extraire des paramètres morphologiques, de réaliser une analyse plus fine de la morphologie musculaire en 3 dimensions, et d’apporter une meilleure compréhension du comportement cinématique du muscle dans différentes positions. Par son intégration dans un questionnement plus vaste :- comment caractériser objectivement la mimique faciale ? - quels sont les indicateurs qualitatifs et quantitatifs de la mimique que nous pouvons recueillir, et comment réaliser ce recueil ? - comment utiliser les développements technologiques dans les applications cliniques ? Ce travail constitue une étape préliminaire à d’autres travaux. Il pourra fournir des données de référence à des fins de modélisation, de simulation de la mimique faciale, ou de développements d’outil de mesures pour le suivi et l’évaluation des déficits de la mimique facialeThe aim of this research is to study facials mimics movements and to correlate externat soft tissue (i.e., cutaneous) movement during facial mimics with internal (i.e., facial mimic muscle) movement. The entire facial mimicry couldn't be studied, that's why relevant movements had been selected. Those movements were characterised by a clinically qualitative analysis in 23 young healthy volunteers. The analysis was performed with video recordings including scaling derived from the FACS (Facial Action Coding System). After the validation of external characterisation by this method, internal characterisation of the mimic facial muscle was carried out in 10 volunteers. A modelization of selected facial mimic muscle as Zygomaticus Major was achieved. With this work, morphological parameters could be extracted, 3D morphometric data were analysed to provide a better understanding of cinematic behaviour of muscle in different positions.This research is included in the Simovi Project, which aims to determine to what extent a facial mimic can be evaluated objectively, to select the qualitative and quantitative indicators for evaluation of mimic facial disorders, and to transfer our technological developments in clinical field. This research is a first step and provides data for simulation or developments of measurement tools in evaluation and follow-up of mimic facial disorders

Full textAbstract:
Background. The treatment of patients born with cleft lip and palate has been gradually modified over the years as the surgical procedures have developed and improved. Multidisciplinary team care has evolved and provided improved care with enhanced results. Clefts in the alveolus can be reconstructed by alveolar bone grafting or by periosteoplasty. The main goal is to repair and close the alveolar cleft and create a continuous alveolar processes so that the teeth can erupt. Aims. This thesis has several aims: to investigate the impact of dental status and initial cleft width on the outcome of Secondary alveolar bone grafting (SABG) in patients born with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) at the 10-year follow-up (Studies I and II); to compare the outcomes of primary periosteoplasty (PPP) with those of SABG in patients born with unilateral cleft lip and alveolus (CLA) (Study III); to evaluate clinical and radiographic conditions and identify factors important for the final treatment outcomes after SABG ( Study IV); to evaluate two radiographic methods, i.e. occlusal radiographs and cone beam tomography (CBCT)) for assessing alveolar bone height ( study IV). Results. In UCLP patients, SABG achieved excellent results in terms of bone height; tended to reduce with time, correlated with dental status and dental restoration factors. Occlusal radiographs correspond well with the CBCT, for evaluating alveolar bone height in cleft area. The width of the initial cleft does not seem to affect the success of SABG. Finally, patients with CLA treated with PPP at the time of lip repair have inferior bone formation outcomes in the cleft area compared with patients treated with SABG at the time of mixed dentition. Conclusion. Poor dental status and malpositioning negatively affect the long-term survival of bone in the alveolar cleft. The initial cleft width affects certain dental status factors. In adults with UCLP, the alveolar bone height in the cleft was correlated to the presence of gingival inflammation and restorations at 20 years follow-up. Specially designed maintenance therapy is beneficial, after complex dental restorations in the cleft area. SABG is preferred to PPP for the reconstruction of alveolar clefts.

Os computadores pessoais possuem um papel importante na vida das pessoas, para auxílio em suas tarefas cotidianas como trabalho, entretenimento, e comunicação. Na comunicação, os computadores pessoais podem ser utilizados para chamadas de teleconferência, recebendo e transmitindo imagens e áudio entre longas distâncias. Para adicionar imersão na experiência de teleconferência, e permitir a escolha do ponto de visão por parte do usuário, uma teleconferência tridimensional com ponto de visão livre pode ser realizada, se modelos faciais tridimensionais forem criados a partir de imagens. Essa dissertação apresenta a investigação de métodos de geração de Malha Poligonal a partir de informações 3D extraídas de imagens, para aplicação em sistemas de teleconferências imersivas com ponto de visão livre. Um método de geração de Malha Poligonal chamado Quad Grid foi proposto para permitir a modelagem facial 3D em tempo real. As malhas poligonais das faces foram analisadas em experimentos objetivos e subjetivos. Os experimentos mostraram que o método Quad Grid teve resultado satisfatório e é um método rápido para a reconstrução facial 3D com malha poligonal. O software prova de conceito dessa dissertação resultou em um sistema de teleconferência 3D com ponto de visão livre.
The personal computers have an important role in the people lives to help in their daily tasks such as work, entertainment, and communication. With regard to the communication, the personal computer may be used for conference calls, receiving and transmitting images and audio between long distances. To add immersion inside the teleconferencing experience and allow the choice of viewing point by the user, a three-dimensional teleconference with free view point can be performed if three-dimensional facial models are created from images. This paper presents the research methods of generating polygonal mesh from 3D information extracted from images, for use in immersive conference calls systems with free view point. A method of generating polygonal mesh called Quad Grid has been proposed to allow the 3D face modeling in real time. The polygonal mesh of the faces were analyzed in objective and subjective experiments. The experiments showed that the Quad Grid method was satisfactory and is a fast method for 3D facial reconstruction with polygonal mesh. The proof of concept software of this Master Thesis resulted in a 3D teleconferencing system with free view point.
